- Meeting Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Van Thang, Citigroup CEO affirms: "bringing international investors to Vietnam is our mission"
Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Van Thang received Citigroup CEO Ernesto Torres Cantú at Government headquarters on the afternoon of October 16. The Deputy PM said the government targets average GDP growth of 10% or more per year for 2026–2030, and FDI disbursed in the first nine months exceeded US$21 billion, up 76.4% year on year. He asked Citibank to help build international financial centres in Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang and to convey Vietnam's goodwill to the U.S. government on quickly finalising a reciprocal trade agreement. Torres Cantú said bringing international investors to Vietnam is Citigroup's mission, adding that the group is seeking funding for Vietnam's energy sector and will work with the Ministry of Finance on sovereign credit ratings.
- Synchronized infrastructure paves the way for double-digit growth in Ho Chi Minh City
At a seminar organized by the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Construction and Tien Phong newspaper, experts said that expanding the city's boundaries after merging with Bình Dương and Bà Rịa - Vũng Tàu creates a large development space, covering about 6,772 km² with roughly 13.5 million people. In 2024, the merged area contributed about 24% of national GDP and attracted about $6.7 billion in FDI. However, bottlenecks in institutions, resource mobilization, regional connectivity and coordination between transport planning and housing remain. The city plans to make metro the main axis of public transport, with at least 200 km by 2030 (a higher target of about 255 km) and over 500 km by 2035.
- Russia seizes 5 more European companies with combined revenue of nearly $600 million
Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree ordering the compulsory seizure of assets belonging to five Western companies: Tarkett (France), Kappa Rus, Ontex RU, Eviosys Packaging Kuban and Menshen Packaging CIS. The assets have been placed under temporary management by Centre Capital, and all five companies continue operating in Russia, with combined annual revenue above 50 billion rubles (593.8 million USD). This follows a similar series of moves in September, when assets of Nestlé, Metro, Auchan and Leroy Merlin were placed under temporary management. Western governments call the seizures illegal expropriation; affected companies could seek compensation through international arbitration under bilateral investment treaties, but enforcing a ruling against the Kremlin is nearly impossible.

- What Happened to $1,000 Invested in Microsoft Before Its Cloud and AI Boom?
According to the article, $1,000 invested in Microsoft 10 years ago would now be worth $10,023.10 (a 902.31% total return), versus $3,606.80 in the S&P 500 over the same period. The 5-year lead is much narrower ($1,800 vs. $1,705.90), while over the past year Microsoft trailed the index ($1,043.30 vs. $1,161.60) as capex grew faster than revenue. Fiscal 2026 revenue reached $331.84 billion (up 17.79%), but capex rose 79.62% to $115.95 billion, pushing free cash flow down 6.46%. The article says the outlook hinges on whether Azure, which grew 43% last quarter, keeps outpacing the spending behind it.
- Investment summit: German government strikes AI deal with Nvidia
At the Invest in Germany summit in Berlin, the federal government reportedly struck an AI cooperation deal with Nvidia, with a federal contribution to the partnership. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said it pained him to see Germany fall behind, yet he still believes in the country, and around a dozen German firms including Siemens and Audi are expected to join the project. Chancellor Merz urged companies to open their industrial data for AI to safeguard competitiveness in sectors like automotive. Amazon plans to invest around 16 billion euros in Germany in 2027, including 4.8 billion euros for AWS mainly in the Frankfurt am Main region. The IMF now forecasts 1.3 percent growth for Germany in 2026, up from 0.7 percent previously.
- Stocks try for back-to-back gains — plus, Qnity gets iPhone business from Apple
U.S. stocks were higher Tuesday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq poised for back-to-back gains, as most major companies beat estimates and raised full-year guidance, though market reactions were mixed. Apple expanded its partnership with Qnity Electronics under its American Manufacturing Program, with Qnity producing advanced films for the variable aperture camera system in the iPhone 18 Pro; Qnity joined the program in March. Jim Cramer's Club calls the news incrementally positive but is not buying more shares, placing greater emphasis on Qnity's fast-growing data center business than on consumer electronics. Capital One reports after the bell, while Netflix, SpaceX and United Airlines also report Tuesday evening, and Meta reports Wednesday evening.
- Housing is flashing warning signs just as the Fed weighs more interest rate hikes
The U.S. housing market weakened further in September even as price pressures persisted, complicating the Federal Reserve's decisions on whether to raise interest rates. The 30-year mortgage rate was above 7% for most of September and ended the month around 7.6%, and could rise further if the Fed hikes short-term rates as expected. The National Association of Realtors' pending sales index fell 7.3% for the month and was 11.3% lower than a year earlier, an all-time low in records dating to 2001. Privately owned housing starts dropped 5.2% on a seasonally adjusted annualized basis, far worse than the expected 0.4% decline, while Goldman Sachs expects affordability pressures to dominate the housing market in 2027.
- Skydance Rises 5% as Steep Post-Merger Slide Pauses; Disney Gains 2%, Netflix Slips
Skydance shares rose 5% to $7.15 as the steep slide since its Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition closed on October 6 paused, while Disney gained 2% to $111.41 and Netflix slipped 0.62% to $69.42. The Communication Services Select Sector SPDR ETF was up just 0.1% and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust rose 0.4%, so the Skydance move looks company-specific. The article notes Skydance now houses Paramount+, Pluto TV, Paramount Pictures, the CBS network and the Warner Bros. Discovery studios, making integration of film, TV and streaming operations the next key test. A single up day, however, leaves most of the post-merger decline in place.
- Where Will VGT Be in 20 Years? Here's What History Suggests.
The article examines what could happen to investors in the Vanguard Information Technology ETF (VGT) if it keeps its 15.03% annualized return over the next 20 years, based on its 22-year track record since January 2004. In this example, a $10,000 investment would grow to $164,521 after 20 years, and investing $500 a month would reach $616,852. The article stresses that there are no guarantees, that the tech sector could face a major sell-off or long bear market, and that VGT might underperform the S&P 500 at some point.
